Roll With The Punches - Young MC

Roll with the punches is what I tell

To people when things dont go too well

When you go for the gold and come back empty

When the ups are few and the downs are plenty

When you talk with the girl that you always desired

You busted a move but the move backfired

When life puts you in the little crunches

Dont give up, you’ve got to roll with the punches

Roll it baby

Work, no matter what occupation

Any time’s good time for vacation

Everyday’s the same you can’t believe the monotony

So when the weekend comes its like you had a lobotomy

You can’t do a thing without the boss start yellin'

It wouldn’t be bad if his breath wasn’t smellin'

A good day’s work for a good day’s pay

But that’s before Uncle Sam takes a portion away

Now a lot of times you feel just like quittin'

But without a job you’re home alone sittin'

Checkin' the want ads for jobs to fill

Watchin soaps, Geraldo and Oprah, and Phil

My advice is to roll with with it honey

And soon you’ll find that you’ll be in the money

Expense accounts and three martini lunches

And thats what you get when you roll with the Punches

Roll it baby

You got to roll with the punches

Roll with it

Roll it baby

Lotto, take your chance for a dollar

If I win then I’ll scream and holler

High on the hog is the way to be

And it’s def livin in the lap of luxury

I picked 4 numbers they were all okay

For the 5th and 6th I used my birthday

But I erased my birthday and said better yet

I’ll use the birthday of a girlie that I just met

I filled out the ticket gave it a kiss for luck

Handed it to the agent with a brand new buck

Went home to watch TV on a Saturday night

4 numbers came up and they were all alrright

Now what happened next, nearly made me drop dead

It wasn’t her birthday it was mine instead

I said next time I’ll just play my hunches

But what the heck, I’ll just roll with the punches

Roll with it

You got to go with the flow

Like this

Women, let me tell you about 'em

Can’t live with them, can’t live without em

The ones you like only seem to hate you

The ones you hate only seem to date you

Girls will often tell you, you come on too strong

You got to take it slow to make the love last long

But I say, the early bird catches the worm

The late bird gets the gilrie with the two dollar perm

Man, that put me in dilema

Case in point a fly girl name Gema

I met this lady at a quiet place

About 5 years ago we were face to face

I stepped up to her, tossed the first line

Like fishin' I was wishin' that the girl would be mine

I told my best jokes and she started smilin'

A voice inside said yo Young you’re stylin'

But then Gema really startin actin' silly

Cuz she broke up with her boyfriend Billy

She wanted advice and she was coming to me

I said you need Dear Abby not the Young MC

Because I don’t mind being a shoulder to cry on

But I need one who needs a body to lie on

'Cause nowadays I got girls by the bunches

See I got smart and just rolled with the punches

Roll it baby

You got to go with the flow

Roll it baby

Nowadays I got girls by the bunches

I got smart and just rolled with the punches
